SWOT Analysis of Blog's Strengths and Weaknesses - JAN

Because the image sucks, here it is in TEXT FORM:

Strengths
- Lots of location posts
- Clear range of presentational tools
- Great analysis of similar products, genres, sequences, etc.
- Solid evidence of storyboarding, scheduling, and other production planning

Weaknesses
- We haven't cut together our evidence of filming posts yet
- Not enough soundscape work

Threats
- Time management. Some posts get away from me because of poor organisation of time.
- Sometimes I struggle to find a good place to start with any given blog task.

Opportunities
- I enjoy writing, and I feel that the evaluation stages of the coursework will provide lots of opportunities to do so.
- In the editing stages, we will make lots of progress on our soundscape, which has been a noted weakness of our work so far.

- The weakest area is costume, but I'm not really sure what more we can say about this.
